This book explains how concrete can be used for sustainable design and construction. It offers insight into new technological and social developments guiding the introduction of green buildings and examines the attributes that concrete has to offer the green building movement. This second edition highlights research on economic analysis-particularly life cycle costing-to provide a full picture of the economic benefits of concrete. Expert contributors from around the world provide diverse viewpoints on global sustainability.
